The National Central Library (NCL) held a book donation ceremony on June 26, 2018 with the Israel Economic and Cultural Office. Representative Asher Yarden from the Taipei office made the donation. The donation was comprised of over seventy volumes, including books in Hebrew, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese. Content covers Israeli literature, art, illustrations, society, humanities and more. Representative Yarden stated in his remarks that books are a medium of communication that can transcend space and time, allowing people in different areas to understand each other’s culture. He hoped through this donation to establish a communication channel between Taiwan and Israel. Director-General Tseng also expressed her desire that this donation would be the beginning of a collaborative relationship with Israel. In addition to expanding the Library’s holdings and benefiting patrons, she hoped that libraries in both countries could engage in more exchange and collaboration.
